Pork: cooking features
To make the baked meat especially tasty, choose the right piece of pork: fillet from the spine, escalopes, loin, chops on the ribs or chops of the leg. Preferably light, not too fatty meat. It is well absorbed and does not differ in high calorie content.
Tender, slightly fresh pork needs to be accompanied by brighter-tasting ingredients. Tomatoes are perfectly combined with it, giving the meat a pleasant sourness. Spices that are too harsh should be ruled out, preferring parsley, basil, black pepper.
Pork schnitzels
You will need:
- 2 pork schnitzels;
- 1 small onion;
- 3 tomatoes;
- 400 g of boiled mushrooms;
- 0.5 tsp dried basil;
- olive oil for frying;
- salt;
- freshly ground black pepper.
Peel and chop the onion. Wash the schnitzels, dry with a paper towel and rub with a mixture of onions, salt, freshly ground pepper and dried basil. Fry the meat in a not too hot pan, then transfer it to a plate and place in heat.
Scald tomatoes with boiling water, remove the peel. Finely chop one and a half tomatoes and stew with a little oil in a pan where the schnitzels were fried. Add salt and pepper. Cut the remaining tomatoes into circles and also lightly fry. Chop mushrooms with thin plates and fry in a separate pan.
Pour the stewed tomato sauce into the mold, put the schnitzels on top. Cover each with plastic cheese and place in the oven, preheated to 180 ° C. When the cheese has melted, transfer the pork to warmed plates on top of the fried tomatoes. Place mushrooms nearby.

Chop the pieces of the loin, sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper. Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the meat in it until golden brown. Cut the cheese into slices, tomatoes into thin slices. Chop the onion with ringlets.
